Fishing for Fish

 

“Blub, Blub, Blub” Three bubbles in the water making a funny sound in 1 second intervals. My bobber shot straight into the clear beautiful and glossy lake as the floorboards of the pier creaked and shuddered. Out beneath the water a beautifully shaded bass emerged glistening as the sun shined its water soaked scales “Nice catch!” said my dad with great enthusiasm.
